Multiple user sessions on vista

[amddude]

I currently use windows server 2003 as my primary OS, for among other reasons, the fact I can have multiple sessions logged in simultaneously. In other words, someone can be at my PC while 2 are logged in remotely over RDP, all working at the same time.

I know there is the dll hack for xp to do this. Does vista allow for this or is it single sesion only?

Nope. Works kinda like XP in this regard.

Nope. I posted this same thread a little while back.

I still havnt found a way to log on while someone is using the machine locally.

So far thats the only downfall of Vista to me.

Vista (and Longhorn Server) are different than XP/2003 in how they create RDP sessions. In XP if you connected over RDP, you connected to session 0, which is the console session. You could do the same thing with 2003 by using the /console switch (mstsc /console /v:servername).

In Vista/Longhorn, only services are allowed to run in session 0. When you sit down in front of a Vista machine and logon, you are logging into session 1.

Technically Vista does support this, MediaCenter extender users are logged in while you are. However, it's still not allowed for normal user accounts (stupid stupid stupid!!!! At least give me one local and one remote user with Ultra...)

That is big time hated. I hope somebody can find a hack or something to enable it, that's probably the single biggest reason I stick with win2k3.
